Family Law

A 'Time to Talk' consultation was launched by the Department for Children, Schools and Families on 6 September 2007. Its stated purpose is to:

• improve the health and well-being of children and young people;
• safeguard the young and vulnerable;
• close the achievement gap between the advantaged and disadvantaged
• raise standards;
• increase post-16 participation and attainment.

Responses can be made online or a response form returned. The closing date is 19 October 2007. The consultation results will be published on the DCSF website in late Autumn 2007.
